Floyd Mayweather contradicts self… AGAIN

“We only want to fight the biggest and the best out there, and Manny Pacquiao, yes, you’re next!”

On June 30th, 2011, Floyd Mayweather declared those words in front of the media and fans who came to the promotional tour in Los Angeles to sell his upcoming fight against WBC welterweight titlist Victor Ortiz. The boxing world thought that finally, Pacquiao and Mayweather will put their signatures on the dotted line, laced up the gloves, and cement their legacy as to who is the best prizefighter in this generation.

Prior to the statement he made in Los Angeles, Mayweather said he “absolutely want to fight” the Pacman.

Another blunder for Floyd Mayweather.

But it seems that Mayweather, great fighter that he is, will not engage the Filipino dervish if he comes out victorious against Ortiz this Saturday, September 17th in Las Vegas.

“I never said Manny Pacquiao is next,” Mayweather responded to a reporter’s query during his very recent media workout in his Las Vegas gym. “Stop putting words in my mouth. Nothing is a precursor.”

Mayweather owns a history of self contradictions where he says one thing the other day and mouths something totally different the day after.

Mayweather mentioned Pacquiao fighting his left overs, particularly Oscar dela Hoya and Ricky Hatton. Didn’t Mayweather fought Juan Manuel Marquez, who had to go up beyond the comforts of the lightweight limit? Pacquaio fought marquez twice. Does that fact make him a Pacquiao left over?

Mayweather denies suggesting Pacquiao’s victories at higher weight classes were aided by unnatural and illegal substances. But he clearly implied that when he said “the Philippines got the best performance-enhancing drugs” during a radio interview in late 2009.

His recent backtracking about fighting Pacquiao next if he successfully dispatches Ortiz is another item on Mayweather’s long list of self contradictions.

Floyd jr is under the influence ,under the influence of The Pacman, when he said ”Yes Manny Pacquiao is next.He is under the spell of Manny Pacquiao, check his facial reaction when he utter those words,he is completely terrified or i may call it HORRfied.Now he is after all the sports media saying “I never said that I never said that at all. don’t put words in my mouth because the media is good doing it.If we analyze his statement, he put blame to all media people who have been spreading lies about certain issues.But again would the recorded video lie, mr. Floyd jr?

The statements of Mayweather should not be taken seriously because this man suffers from amnesia or is insane. Let’s just understand this over-jealous wide-mouthed fighter.

Floyd understand the word fans only when he’s selling a fight. But “the fans don’t pay the bills, the fans are not the ones sending my kids to school”. He doesn’t have fans. He only has Floydiots!.

joe

when the time comes that floydie will run out of money (i’m sure many will dispute that), friends (leeches or not), die hard supporters who always buys his tickets and ppvs, oses his legal troubles, and required to pay a huge amount of money.. he will seek out pacquiao for a one last fight. not for honor or the legacy of fame, only for money. it would be good if he wins against ortiz this week end, if not his marketability against pacquiao will suffer so much he will have to be content with a fraction of what it is supposed to be. but the fight if ever it will come to fruition will still be supported, albeit not the same enthusiasm as current. but for as long as their are fighter who will agree to the demands of floydie (can’t blame them, they have to earn too), he will always have a fight to snatch a few more millions.. if that happens for a couple of years more, then the fight with pacquiao would indeed never happen. only his desperation, greed, and lowly instincts will compel him to face pac in the ring. as arum said, he is so irrational now, and getting worse. obviously he needs professional help. maybe a case of another childhood upbringing. just ask floydie sr.

Want Pacquiao vs. Mayweather to happen? Then Boycott Mayweather vs Ortiz! Show to Floyd that he need Pacquaio…His words are not Reliable and Unbelivable..It is self-contradictory…BOYCOTT THE FIGHT AND THE ppv…lET fmjR EATS HIS WORD!

Victor Ortiz will be the biggest alibi of Floyd because if Ortiz beats him then he escapes the possibility of fighting Pacquiao…Ortiz will get the chance to fight Manny… because Floyd will retire again after Ortiz fight.

Classic Mayweather Jr.

Floyd simply letting his mouth go, without checking his previous statements. These made him so unpredictable and full of surprises in any of his public statements.

I salute his prowess being a defensive and tactical fighter, his but not to his all out offensive mouth.:)

Tarugo

Mayweather Jr as a person is a piece of SH!T! F#CK Floyd Mayweather Jr! Boycott all of his fights!

I am sure eventually Mayweather might fight Pacquiao, but I think it’s a great idea to fight Ortiz first. He hasn’t been in the ring for so long that he needs some practice, and fighting Ortiz will give him that. I plan on ordering it through my provider/employer DISH Network in HD; because you never know about the sites that are free and if you miss just one second you can miss a lot. I have HD free for life and with DISH I get the most HD in the industry. The fight in on PPV, but I like that I have the option to order it in a crystal clear picture. Mayweather I can see will defeat Ortiz this Saturday.
